When DNA fragments have been separated by gel electrophoresis, fragments of a specific size can be removed from the gel and combined with DNA fragments from different sources

Adding an antibiotic resistance gene to the plasmid solves both problems: it allows a scientist to easily detect plasmid containing bacteria when the cells are grown on selective media, and provides those bacteria with a pressure to keep your plasmid]]> 2019-04-09 16:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_albright/diesel/wish/350014484 hannah_albright https://padlet.com/hannah_albright/diesel/wish/350014561 How genetic engineering can improve human health
Scientists use genetic engineering to make more nutritional crops, they use transgenic animals in medial research, and they can treat diseases using genetic engineering ]]> 2019-04-09 16:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_albright/diesel/wish/350014561 hannah_albright https://padlet.com/hannah_albright/diesel/wish/350014631 One major difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering
Selective breeding is the original method for improving crops and animals, but it can take a VERY long time. Genetic engineering is a faster way, which transplants genes for a desired characteristic into an organism
